Cinque Terre

There is something that has been on my bucket list for quite a long time: Cinque Terre, Italy. Only two and a half hours away from Florence by bus, stand five old and colorful seaside towns on the Italian Riviera. These five villages are connected by ‘The Sentiero Azzurro”, a famous hiking trail which offers amazing panoramas! To my unfortunate luck, three of the trails were closed since they were affected by a recent flood which made them unsafe to hike.

We booked our trip with ‘Florence for Fun‘ for only 45 Euros. This included a round-trip from Florence to Cinque Terre, a train ticket that takes us to the town, and a guided hike. We only had the option to hike the most difficult trail, which starts in Vernazza and ends in Monterosso Al Mare (1h30).

Regardless of the cloudy and rainy weather, we still managed to make the best of our hike and met amazing people along the way. As we got to Monterosso, we had an amazing sea food salad and pasta at one of the most famous and authentic restaurants. We then chilled by the beach since it was too cold to swim, while our friends got drunk at a nearby bar.
